Early in the morning, Mo Rongzhan sent someone to invite Huangfu Chen into the palace. As soon as the morning court was over, he immediately came to the imperial study to see him.
Huangfu Chen looked at his friend who was a few years younger than him and said helplessly, "Ah Zhan, you can't be too willful as the emperor. I still have to attend classes at the academy. Why did you call me to the palace?"
"I have something to ask you." Mo Rongzhan's handsome face was not at all embarrassed as he asked Huangfu Chen to sit at the tea table.
"What do you want to ask?" Huangfu Chen raised his eyebrows, "Don't you not believe in divination?"
Mo Rongzhan stared at him deeply, "You know Ye Yiqing, so you must know how many daughters he has."
Huangfu Chen was slightly startled, "Why do you ask?"
"I heard that Ye Yiqing once asked someone to conduct a divination when his daughters were born. Did you do the divination for them?" Mo Rongzhan had been wondering why a person like Ye Yiqing would believe such an unfounded statement. After thinking about it, only Huangfu Chen could convince him.
Huangfu Chen must know how many daughters Ye Yiqing had.
Huang Fuchen shook his head and smiled, "At first, it was Old Madam Ye who found a Taoist priest to tell the fortune of Ye Zhen and her sister, but Ye Yiqing didn't believe it. I met him by chance, and he translated a book left by my great-grandfather for me. When he learned that I knew divination, he asked me to tell his daughter's fortune. At that time, Ye Zhen was extremely ill, and because she was not yet one month old, the imperial doctor didn't dare to prescribe her medicine. The result of my divination was that the two sisters couldn't be together, otherwise, they would be mutually exclusive. Ye Zhen's beauty was unspeakable, but her life was short. Ye Yiqing left the seriously ill Ye Zhen and sent Lu Yaoyao away … As for where he sent her, I don't know.
"You knew that she was Ye Zhen's sister, yet you told the empress dowager that you could make her a princess?" Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly with a gloomy face.
"I was afraid that you would kill her after knowing her identity. Can't you protect her with the identity of a princess? This is also my last gift to Ye Yiqing. "Huangfu Chen said with a smile, not paying any attention to Mo Rongzhan's anger.
Mo Rongzhan said coldly, "I am not a tyrannical and incapable ruler. Why would I kill an innocent little girl?"
"It sounds like you feel pity for Yaoyao." Huang Fuchen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He was worried that Mo Rongzhan would be afraid after knowing Yaoyao's identity, but it seemed like he was worried for nothing.
"I want to marry her." Mo Rongzhan said seriously and firmly.
"Cough, cough …" Huangfu Chen almost spat out the food in his mouth. He looked up at Mo Rongzhan in shock. "What did you say?"
Mo Rongzhan's handsome face turned slightly red and he said in a displeased tone, "I want to marry Yaoyao."
Huang Fuchen looked at him seriously. "Ah Zhan, you know that you can't just say that casually. You know Yao Yao's identity and she knows her own identity as well. Between the two of you … there's Ye Zhen and the Ye Family. Even if she grew up in the Lu Family and doesn't have a deep relationship with Ye Yiqing and the rest, she might not marry you."
"She will." Mo Rongzhan pursed his thin lips, but he wasn't so sure. The Ye Family and Ye Zhen were the biggest knot in Yaoyao's heart. He didn't know how to untie it.
"Don't force her." Huangfu Chen frowned. "How did you know about her identity? Did someone in the Lu Family know? "
Mo Rongzhan was silent for a while before he whispered, "She told me."
Huangfu Chen looked at him sympathetically. "It seems that Yaoyao really doesn't want to marry you."
"…" Mo Rongzhan almost flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Who said that she doesn't want to? It's just that the knot in her heart hasn't been untied yet."
"Did you tell her that Ye Yiqing is not dead?" Huangfu Chen asked.
Mo Rongzhan was a little helpless. "I don't know where Ye Yiqing is. Even if I told her, would she believe me? If Ye Yiqing is no longer in this world, wouldn't it increase her resentment towards me? "
Huangfu Chen laughed and gloated. "You can't force Yaoyao to do something she doesn't want to do."
"How well do you know her?" Mo Rongzhan snorted.
"She's my student now." Huangfu Chen smiled faintly. Looking at Mo Rongzhan's completely dark face, he was suddenly in a good mood. "Yaoyao is learning divination from me."
Mo Rongzhan gritted his teeth and said, "Why does she want to learn divination?"
"How would I know? She wants to learn, so I taught her." Huangfu Chen glanced at Mo Rongzhan. "Since you are heartless towards Ye Zhen, why would you fall in love with Yaoyao?"
"It's not something that I can control!" In the beginning, he firmly believed that he wouldn't let the girls of the Lu Family enter the palace. He only had hatred for Lu Yaoyao. How did he fall in love with her? He couldn't explain it. He only knew that he was more and more unwilling to let her go. He was even afraid of losing her.
Moreover, in his heart, Ye Zhen couldn't compare to Yaoyao.
Huangfu Chen shook his head and smiled. "I can't help you. I've already told you everything you wanted to ask."
Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "Since you are her master, try to persuade her …"
"What if she doesn't even recognize me as her master?" Huangfu Chen asked. He didn't want Lu Yaoyao to marry Mo Rongzhan in the future. A beautiful girl like her should have a more exciting life. She shouldn't be buried in the harem.
"Get lost!" Mo Rongzhan snorted angrily.
Huangfu Chen laughed out loud, bowed, and left the imperial study. He didn't leave the palace immediately but walked in the direction of the Imperial Hospital.
He had lived in this palace for at least a few years. Although he wasn't very familiar with it, he could still recognize the way.
Passing by the small square in front of the Imperial Hospital, he stopped and looked in surprise at the little figure drying medicine on the square under the sun.
"Yaoyao?" Huangfu Chen said in surprise. Who dared to let her dry medicine here?
Ye Zhen heard someone calling her and thought that she was having an auditory hallucination. She looked up and saw Huangfu Chen. She smiled. "Sir, why are you here?"
"Why are you drying medicine here alone?" Huangfu Chen asked in a deep voice. "Is no one helping you?"
"Everyone else has something to do." Ye Zhen said with a smile, wiping the sweat on her forehead. "Sir, let's go to the side to talk. It's too sunny here."
Although it was only March, the sun during the day was still a bit scorching.
Huangfu Chen walked with her to the eaves on the side. Looking at her little red face, he asked coldly, "Drying medicine is not something you should do. Who asked you to do it?"
Ye Zhen laughed. She couldn't say that she was being targeted. "Sir, why are you in the palace?"
"The emperor asked me to enter the palace to talk about something," Huangfu Chen said lightly. "I came to see you on the way."
"I'm fine. I just arrived at the women's hospital, so I have to get used to life here first." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
